Soil and sediment contamination has become a critical issue worldwide due to its great
harm to the ecological environment and public health. In recent years, many remediation …

Purpose The rationale of this paper is to review the state of the art regarding the biotic and
abiotic reactions that can influence Fe availability in soils. In soil, the management-induced …

Soil aggregate distribution and stability measurements have been proposed as soil quality
indicators. However, pretreatment of soil, antecedent water content and differences in sand …

This chapter, like Churchman (2000), seeks to bring readers up to date with information and
understanding about the alteration of minerals and the nature of their products in the context …

Differences in crystallinity may explain why total Fe (hydr) oxide content has a variable effect
on aggregate stability. Therefore, surface soil samples with a range of poorly crystalline Fe …

Soil organic matter (SOM) processes in dynamic landscapes are strongly influenced by soil
erosion and sedimentation. We determined the contribution of physical isolation of organic …

Equations used to calculate erodibility in the Water Erosion Prediction Project soil erosion
model (WEPP) are based on erodibility studies in the USA and may not function well in …

Knowledge of the soil components controlling aggregate formation and stability is
fundamental to the conservation of soil structure. In this work, the effects of Fe and organic …

Knowledges of aggregate stability and formation depending on soil organic carbon (SOC)
and iron oxides are essential to the conservation of soil structure. In this work, the effects of …

Formation and stability of natural soil aggregates are affected by dozens of different factors
and their individual effects are hardly distinguishable. Therefore to observe more clear …
